NOTES.
Girdies made exclusively OF Jet are
seen.
Emerslds are coming once more into
fashionable favor.
Cords play an important part in the
trimmings of the season.
Jaunty jackets are marked feature OF
the autumn fashions for out of doors.
Very long and narrow pocketbooks for
women are the very latest fashion in that
line.
Corduroy in au colors appears to be
pretty extensively used in the trimming Of
outdoor costumes.
Dark gray seems to be the favorite color
for walking gloves. The stitching must
be black.
The proper thing in engagement rings
is now large, perfectly shaped pearl set
en- solitaire.
Debutsntes Of the coming season will
carry bat one bouquet to receptions, and
this must be the gift of father or brother.
The most noticeable feature in the new
winter bonnets is the renewal OF the trim
ming from the front TO the back.
White wool dresses will be in form for
the theater and small dinners, the long
cloaks admitting Of light colors more
than is usual.
For private weddings the tsilor made
travelling suit, less severely simple than
usual, made up in gray shades Of cam
elette or smooth faced cloth, is the first
choice.
Bead trimming is more the rage than
ever. Yokes of beads are made with
bracelets for the sleeves and pointed
pieces for the hips, or to be tied in front,
falling over the skirt.
If fashion representations are correct,
somber colors will be the rage for evening
wear, while all sorts of bright hues will
enIiven the streets during next winter.
There are fewer very high collars seen,
except on morning dresses, and collar
cites Of lace and piested tulle are being
resumed which tall all around the neck
and are quite deep, very ike children's
collars.
Black trimmings are the fashion of the
moment for trimming cOlored fabrics, ri
Yelling those of gold or Of tinsel. The
passementeries, whether OF beads or silk
cords, ARE either al black or else are party
black, and black braid and black furs are
used on garments OF any color.
A full dinner toilette for half-mourning
is OF black velvet brocaded in silver. On
each SIDE Of the skirt is panel of white
satin yelled with rich embroidery of jet
on black net. The corssge is Of plain
black velvet, with puffed sleeves made of
silver brocaded velvet.
Tailor-made and tSilor- fitted jackets
of notified or plain cloth, made with the
simplicity Of geRtleman's coat, is the
garment that holds supremacy for fall
wear. They are very tight-fttiDg in the
back; in front, DO darts; rather loose
about the small of the waist, but fitting
so tight across the chest that they define
tie figure like dress bodice. straight
row Of tailor buttons runs down the front.
All the elegant long winter garments will
be made of plush.
FANCY WORK.
A scarf hood materials-Cream white,
blue or pink Lady Grey wool and two
threaded Saxony. No. 10 bone or wood
needles. With the Lady Grey wool, cast
on $50 stitches, knit three plain rows;
then with the two-thread Saxony knit two
plain rows. Continue in this way, alter
mating the rows, until strip yard and
8 half long is finished. Tie fringe into
one end. Draw the other end up ia
bunch and place On it pretty bow Of rib
bon. The end with the bow is the hood
part. The other end is brought around
the neck and thrown over the shoulder.
It is as comfortable as the old-ieshioned
nubiss, or fclouds," SIS they were called,
but is very much more becoming and Or
namental.

made of white Saxony. Begin in the CEN
ter and crochet round and round in sny
stitch preferred, SIS you would make q
lamp mat. After it is large enough
crochet border Of large shells, edging
